From his roots in the Midwest to his now dynamic role with WGI, join us as Jaime shares insights into his unique life’s journey through personal highlights, professional achievements, and the values that guide him.

From Early Beginnings

Jaime spent his childhood in the Chicago suburbs, splitting time between Lynwood and La Grange, Illinois. His early days were filled with outdoor adventures, playing sports, and building a strong sense of community.

And with a father who served as a building and zoning commissioner, Jaime quickly developed an early appreciation for the built environment and its profound influence on shaping vibrant, thriving communities.

A Path of Learning and Leadership

After earning a political science degree and a master’s in urban planning from the University of Illinois, Jaime’s career took off.

He kicked off his career, gaining experience with the Army Corps of Engineers and the City of St. Petersburg before transitioning into construction management. This diverse background gave him a holistic view of urban development, from planning and permitting to construction.

Making a Mark at WGI

Today, Jaime continues to grow in his career with WGI, where he bridges his love for planning and construction.

Having joined WGI within our P.L.A.C.E division, Jaime quickly immersed himself in multidisciplinary projects and eventually transitioned to the civil team. Since then, Jaime’s passion for representing clients and collaborating across disciplines has made him a truly invaluable asset to our team.

Jaime credits WGI’s core value of “Be the Change You Seek” for enabling his career growth and fostering an environment of innovation and inclusivity. He now emphasizes the importance of putting in the effort, seeking mentorship, and boldly stepping out of your comfort zone to achieve your goals.

Life Beyond the Office

Beyond the office walls, Jaime wears many hats—a proud father to his three-month-old son, Jrew, and a self-proclaimed handyman who enjoys tackling creative projects.
